Restek, 963435E, Force C18, 3 µm, 50 x 3.0 mm LC Column

The culmination of 20+ years in LC, Force performance LC columns are long-lasting and reproducible, even under the stress of UHPLC. Premium quality is backed by the strength of our 100% Pure Satisfaction guarantee. And perhaps most important, Force columns are fully scalable between 3 or 5 µm HPLC and 1.8 µm UHPLC, so you can easily transfer and optimize methods without extensive calculations. Apply Force LC columns to all of your HPLC and UHPLC instrument platforms. The general-purpose Restek C18 is a conventional monomeric octadecylsilane column suitable for analyses of a wide range of compounds from acidic through slightly basic. Stationary Phase Category: C18, octadecylsilane (L1) Ligand Type: End-capped C18 Particle: 1.8 µm, 3 μm, or 5 μm fully porous silica Pore Size: 100 Å Carbon Load: 20% End-Cap: yes Surface Area: 300 m 2 /g Recommended Usage: pH Range: 2.0–8.0 Maximum Temperature: 80 °C Maximum Pressure: 1034 bar/15,000 psi* (1.8 μm), 600 bar/8700 psi (3 μm); 400 bar/5800 psi (5 μm) *For maximum lifetime, recommended maximum pressure for 1.8 μm particles is 830 bar/12,000 psi. Properties: Compatible with moderately acidic to neutral mobile phases (pH 2–8). Excellent data quality in food, environmental, bioanalytical, and other applications. Switch to a C18 when: You need a general-purpose column for reversed-phase chromatography. You need to increase retention of hydrophobic compounds.
Features & Benefits
A traditional end-capped C18 ideal for general-purpose use in reversed-phase chromatography.
Wide pH range (2–8) provides excellent data quality for many applications, matrices, and compounds.
High carbon load (20%) offers high hydrophobic retention.
